I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

Brave fucks with crypto. Never fuck with crypto. It’s also Chromium, which means they’re complicit in Google’s efforts to DRM the internet.
I’m pro digial cash / Monero … but it doesn’t belong in a web browser. Super sketchy shit they are doing with BAT, which means they are tracking you.
I legitimately would be fine with automatically paying authors. It’s not like I enjoy pay walls, ads, or AI garbage writing.
But yeah that’s a job for existing crypto and a Firefox extension. Nothing about this needed a separate money supply or browser.
The complicit part is the most bullshit thing I have ever heard.
They said unequivocally that they won’t support it, just like they didn’t support Manifest V3.
It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.
